In Elena's eyes, Hogwarts Castle is a wonderful area in a quantum superposition state.
Only when more than two people observe it at the same time, will the random path of this castle collapse into a certain correct path, otherwise it will remain in an uncertain and random state.
Therefore, since the "Guiding Elf" appeared in Hogwarts, Elena has never been lost again.
During the holidays, Elena has always lived in the Gryffindor girls' dormitory - partly because it is one of the most popular lounges, and partly because when you go out, turn right and you will see Hogwart.
The principal's office in Ci is more convenient for business trips to the former Soviet Union or surprise ward inspections.
"It's so deserted..."
Returning to the Gryffindor girls' dormitory, Elena looked around at the neat quilts on the beds around her and sighed softly.
It wasn't just Gryffindor. As far as she knew, every Christmas, there were very few girls staying at Hogwarts. Unless they were angry with their families because of their rebellious period, almost all girls would choose to go home for the holidays.
Because of this, she had no interest in opening gifts at all... It was too lonely to open gift boxes alone in the dormitory. Of course, the more important reason was that she received too many gifts——
As the recognized eldest sister of the first grade, of course almost every child sent her a small gift.
Immediately afterwards, due to their outstanding performance in the Quidditch competition in the past few months, most of the members of the school's Quidditch team sent sacrifices to the silver-white demon soaring in the sky to express their gratitude.
The grace of not killing in the game.
In addition, some senior boys from Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin House also secretly sent small Christmas gifts and blessings with their own thoughts - this group is very easy to identify.
The envelopes are all pink and peach heart patterned. You can tell at a glance that they are mass-produced confession envelopes purchased in Hogsmeade Village.
Of course, what takes up more space are the holiday blessings from the "veteran ministers" of destiny.
Elena raised her head, looked at the pile of gifts that almost reached the ceiling, and sighed helplessly.
"...Burley, please move these things to the underground warehouse first."
Unlike the young wizards who lack economic freedom, this group of old wizards who have lived in the non-magical and magical worlds for most of their lives are quite generous, and they have really spent a lot on giving Christmas gifts to the "young Dark Lord"
effort.
Just a quick glance, from the latest model of flying broomstick to the latest black lacquer piano; from the oversized unicorn doll to the exquisite and cute golden snitch suit; from various familiar and unfamiliar magical candies,
Go to the dazzling array of dessert gift boxes common in Western Europe or the former Soviet Union...
"By the way, you can keep the food, and make a list of the rest for me to see later."
Elena hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and added.
How could she be greedy as the head chef of Hogwarts? She was just afraid that candies and snacks would expire after being stored for a long time. As for other inedible gifts, just wait for the house elves to make a list and then slowly choose them.
.
"No problem, as you wish."
Burleigh, the house elf, bowed respectfully and snapped his fingers.
The next moment, the hill-like pile of gifts began to disappear one by one, and it soon became much cooler.
"So, Chef Kaslana, where are the remaining gifts?"
"Except for the greeting cards from professors, letters from home, and greeting cards from friends in the same grade, all the letters sent by others were thrown into the fireplace and destroyed. The gifts were the same as the previous batch. After opening them, make a list.
Give me."
Elena thought for a few seconds and whispered to the house elf standing next to her.
"Well, that's it. I can take care of the rest myself."
The magical world is different from the ordinary world. In addition to blessings, no one knows whether there is a magic spell or a love potion hidden in the envelope, or something weird.
As far as she knew, this situation was not uncommon in the magical world.
Especially for children like Hogwarts who are in the restless period of youth, Elena doesn't want to be captured out of nowhere.
"oui chef!"
Burleigh, the house elf, put his left hand on his chest and bent down. He walked to the pile of gifts and carefully stretched out his hand.
Snapped.
With a soft sound, the elf and the piles of gifts disappeared from the dormitory.
In the empty Gryffindor girls' dormitory, only the Christmas gifts sent by Elena's close friends and elders, as well as various candies, snacks, and snacks... Fortunately, these are not too much.
many.
"It looks much fresher this way."
Elena glanced at the remaining pile of packages beside the bed, sat on the soft carpet and began to look through them.
The top item is a square, rectangular package tied with thick kraft paper. Juanxiu's handwriting written on the cover of the package is particularly familiar to Elena: "Hermione to Elena~~Merry Christmas!"
"
Squeezing the package in her hand, a wry smile appeared on Bai Mao Tuanzi's face. When she opened it, it turned out to be a thick stack of biographies. The wizard's shining white teeth on the cover dazzled her.
There is no doubt that Miss Know-It-All was repaying Elena for giving her "Advanced Mathematics" on her previous birthday.
"Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart...?"
Elena glanced expressionlessly at the smiling wizard on the cover in her hand, and tapped her fingers thoughtfully on the man's face twice. The future Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seemed to have been there for a while.
Very popular with little girls?
Speaking of which, Masters of the Forgotten Curse are very scarce in shipyards and the former Soviet Union during this period...
Without hesitating for too long, Elena took out a small notebook, wrote Gilderoy Lockhart's name on it, and silently drew a triangular eye symbol in front as the key point - rather than letting this person
Since the wizard's character collapsed during the teaching process at Hogwarts, it would be better to let him shine in the field in which he is truly good.
As a kind little witch, she has always been so considerate, and she is ready to help Hermione protect this smile.
As for whether Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart himself is willing, Elena is not very worried.
After all, the grandfathers will visit and lobby in groups of five with great solemnity for all those who are highlighted by her for invitations and attention. If necessary, there will be a reserve team nearby to prepare for the response.
In short, we must be able to make Gilderoy Lockhart, who is still a family at this time, feel the sincerity from destiny.
